Richard Della Fera, Torrez’ attorney
said the statement ‘I definitely did it’ was made at a time when Torrez
was distressed and attempting to remember the calls he made to Vilet and
her mother which later led to the police call.

Police have called Cid Torrez a
person of interest but have reiterated Cid Torrez is not a suspect and
has cooperated with their enquiries.

Cid Torrez waited three days to report Vilet missing and initially appeared in news reports pleading for help to find her

The missing woman's brother, Javier
Blanco, described Cid Torrez as ‘jealous’ and said he hadn't slept over
at the couple’s home in months.

Mr Blanco said his brother-in-law was controlling, to the extent they worried about their sister's safety.

He
said that he once saw Mr Torrez get physical with his sister at a car
dealership over a financial dispute and several times, he lied to new
acquaintances that she was dead.

The Mail Online has previously reported how General Magistrate Giuseppina Miranda
ordered that the couple's three children Vilet, 12, Cid Jr., seven, and Marcus, four, stay with
their mother's family and ordered their father to stop making
unsupervised contact with them.

Police executed search warrants on
Vilet Torrez' home and car, as well as her estranged husband's vehicle.
Cid Torrez has also provided police with hair and saliva samples.
